Shape mismatch - also going to try a 32E

The netting at the tops is wrinkled, but the bottom is totally filled out.

helpfulActually the bottom is not filled out. There is a lot of empty space at the wire. It looks too wide and too shallow . . but i dont know this model at all. That wrinkling doesnt actually look that bad to me. I'd honestly be more concerned about the empty space at the wire.

have you tried any Cleos? I guess they are wider in your size range than mine, tho. What were you wearing before?

I havent! I was looking at one, but it was listed as wider than this Carole bra in a 30F...? I could try a Polish bra maybe? My precious best bra was a 32D Wacoal bra, but I recently tried it on in stores to replace it and the band was too big, and the cups were really small. A 30DDD was the best I could get, but it seemed to flatten my chest a lot. I know that brand tends to be shallow if I’m not mistaken.

Yeah, I cant really help because I started my bra journey as a 32J, and I've gained weight and gone up 2 cup sizes since then, and what is wide in one end of the range is sometimes narrow in the other end

helpfuli've been meaning to try this style, so jealous u bet me to it!
as far as i can tell, it looks like the wrinkling at the top by the straps might be because your shoulders are too narrow for this style of bra, i have the exact opposite problem, my shoulders are freakishly broad....
i would try a cup size down if you can...
but the wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, not the sides, i get all the time, i have uneven breast and i've literally never found a bra that i can fill the bottom of the cups because of my uneven shape, so maybe you might be slightly uneven as well?
the cup depth of the bra is smaller than your breast perimeter, so i don't know how the cup is too wide unless the cup measurement is off...
but, if a bra band is too tight it can distort the underwires, pulling them farther back on your body than it should, so that might be a cause of the "too wide" as well and also could be a contributing factor on the straps being too far into your armpits creating that top cup wrinkle.
these are all based obviously on my own experience with trying to find bras that fit on me, so hopefully it might help ya out.Updated on March 30, 2018 Flag this
Thanks for the input! So maybe something narrower and more projected? I think my perception is distorted due to this fitting better than my old bras, even though it’s not perfect. I think the 30F helped a lot.
